Advice for consumers

This game has received a PEGI 12 because it features moderate violence. Not suitable for persons under 12 years of age.

Brief outline of the game

Deck-building card game in which the player uses cards to supply their army, summon units, determine tactics, and defeat enemies.

Content specific issues

This game contains depictions of non-realistic looking violence towards human characters. When hit, number damage is shown above enemies' heads. When killed, enemies fall to the ground and puddles of blood can be seen on the floor. Bodies stay on the ground for a while before disappearing. When the player is defeated, their health bar reaches zero before they fall to the ground and the screen fades to black.

Other issues

Players can use alcohol to poison enemies. The alcohol will cause exhaustion in enemies but can also be used by the player to gain certain benefits such as increasing attack damage and restoring health. The game doesn’t show the player actually drinking any alcohol: the images of alcohol are only ever seen on cards which are randomly drawn from a deck.

Advice for consumers

This game has received a PEGI 12 because it features use of bad language. Not suitable for persons under 12 years of age.

Brief outline of the game

Space piloting game in which players must navigate their craft through a series of missions, delivering cargo, retrieving resources, and rescuing stranded pilots, as they navigate a mysterious universe of moons and planets.

Content specific issues

This game features use of bad language, including 'bastard' and 'ass', as well as milder terms such as 'hell' and 'damn'.

Other issues

There are references to alcohol and to stress-reduction pills. If the player's craft runs out of health points, the mission fails and restarts, although the death of the pilot is not shown. One level requires players to encourage a giant alien creature, which is firing upon you, to accidentally shoot and destroy itself. However, its physical reaction is unrealistic and neither blood nor injuries are depicted.

Advice for consumers

This game has received a PEGI 18 which restricts availability to ADULTS ONLY and is not suitable for persons under 18 years of age. This rating has been given because it features graphic violence, violence against vulnerable and defenceless characters, and use of strong language.

Brief outline of the game

Second set of DLC for the game, Final Fantasy XVI, which introduces a new location and new challenges.

Content specific issues

The base game contains depictions of graphic violence towards human-like characters. For example, one scene shows a man’s hands being cut off during a sword fight, causing blood to spurt out of the wounds as his hands fall to the floor. There are also scenes of violence towards defenceless human characters, notably when a sword is pushed into a bound woman and then twisted. Violence is realistic, with use of blood effects and characters screaming and grunting in pain. Some scenes involve threat to child characters, including a blade being pressed to a child's neck and children being hit with rocks. The game also includes use of strong language ('fuck').

Other issues

This game offers players the opportunity to purchase in-game items, in the form of paid DLCs, which some parents or carers may want to be aware of. Parents, carers or other responsible adults should check to see what is being offered before making any purchase on behalf of a child. It should be noted that the game can still be played without the need to purchase such items.
